Q: Master, I always feel insecure and nervous. Though I tell myself that I should accept myself and let nature take its course, I have failed to find inner peace. It’s driving me crazy! ! Master, please instruct me.

A: Inner peace can't be found; it will arise in you naturally when you enrich and improve your own mind. Listen to and contemplate the Buddha Dharma, cultivate your faith in the Three Jewels, practice deeds of kindness diligently, and accumulate merit.

Q: Greetings Master! What should I do to keep cheerful about this world?

A: Be more sensitive to the beauty and warmth in life and be grateful. For instance, you may reciprocate the hard work of the security guard on a night shift with a smile in the morning. Do not passively wait for others’ kindness; take the initiative in devoting yourself to others and extending gratitude, and you’ll have the capacity to appreciate the splendor and brightness of the world.

Q: Master, I don't have any goal in life and feel that life is just boring.

Therefore, we should make lofty, pure and kind aspirations so that our life can become bright and motivated.
